CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Chief Wahoo is going away beginning with the 2019 baseball season, and Cleveland Indians fans already have questions about what the team's uniforms could look like moving forward.

Major League Baseball announced Monday that Chief Wahoo would no longer appear on the field beyond the 2018 campaign. The Indians later released a brief statement on Twitter acknowledging that there will be changes to their uniforms after the upcoming season.

But just what will those changes entail? Will the team's uniforms remain largely the same, with the primary Block C logo replacing Wahoo on the sleeve and cap? Or will the club take the opportunity to completely redesign its uniforms and go after a completely new market of fans?

Here are five burning questions we have about the Indians' uniforms for 2019 and beyond:

Will the Block C stay?

In 2013 the Indians moved away from Chief Wahoo as the team's primary logo and began using the Block C to represent the franchise. The Block C appears on the team's current primary road uniform cap and its alternate home red cap. The logo also adorns the gates outside Progressive Field and countless other areas of the park. But should the team take the opportunity with Wahoo's demise to introduce a new version of the Block C, which is sometimes criticized for looking "too plain?"

Could a new Indians logo come from somewhere local?

If the Indians are in the market for a new logo for 2019, local artist George Vlosich could offer some suggestions. His GV Artwork studios Cleveland Baseball collection is a favorite among fans and Indians players alike. Corey Kluber, Michael Brantley and Jose Ramirez are among players who have been spotted wearing GV Artwork designs.

The studio, in the past, has been a proponent of keeping Chief Wahoo, but with the chief's demise, perhaps a new take on the team's Block C logo could come from a local source.

We understand both sides but if the Chief is going away for good we still need to acknowledge our teams heritage with more than the block C. RT if you agree! pic.twitter.com/PIoP4LyNzL

With rare few exceptions such as the team's sleeveless jerseys in the 1960s and alternate sleeveless uniforms in the early-to-mid 2000s, Chief Wahoo has had a regular spot on Indians' sleeve for more than 70 years.

In 2019, the Indians will wear a commemorative All-Star Game patch in the place occupied by Wahoo on the current Tribe jersey. But beyond 2019, the question remains, what patch will the Indians wear there?

Will the Tribe's home caps still have red bills?

While Cleveland's all-blue primary road caps already bear the Block C design, the team's primary home caps have typically had a blue top and red bill with Chief Wahoo front and center.

While the All-Star patch solves the Wahoo issue on the jerseys, the only current replacement for Wahoo on the cap would be the Block C. But the Block C, at least until this point, has only appeared on solid-colored caps, including the all-red alternate home cap.

Will the team announce a completely different home cap for 2019? Or simply put the Block C on a cap with a red bill and move forward?

Could the team go in a radically different direction?

Fire engine red? Pinstripes? Slider on the sleeve? There is precedent for a completely new look for the Indians at Progressive Field beyond 2018.

The team occasionally wears throwback 1975 fire-engine-red pants and tops (as it did for a road game in Tampa Bay last year), and the team's home uniforms from 1958-61 featured blue pinstripes. How much of a change are fans willing to tolerate, and what changes would be a welcome accompaniment to Wahoo's departure? As long as they steer clear of Arizona Diamondbacks-level ugly, they'll probably be OK.
